Li Ka-shing, Chairman of (CK Hutchison Holdings), a wealth champion known to all Chinese around the world. This name means wealth and success to many people. It can be said that wherever Chinese people have set foot, the name Li Ka-shing has followed. In the 2003 list of the world's billionaires by Forbes magazine, Li Ka-shing, Chairman of Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation (HSBC), remained Asia's richest person. His estimated net worth was $12 billion. Every person has their own growing season. Although every generation has its repetitions, Li Ka-shing is unprecedented and unparalleled. Among the giants of the Hong Kong market, Li Ka-shing is rare in being born into poverty and a long-lasting leader, a shining star who has succeeded in all aspects of the market and management. He created a myth of success through sheer hard work. In 1950, at the age of 22, Li Ka-shing started his own plastic factory with the savings he had painstakingly accumulated. After 40 years of hard work, by 1988, he had established five major companies, over 100 subsidiaries, and more than 50 joint ventures, forming a powerful "economic empire" with substantial capital and strength. In 1981, he also took over as Chairman of HSBC, becoming the first Chinese executive to lead a British-owned company in Hong Kong. Under his leadership, the company operated ports worldwide, had a global mobile phone business, a large energy company in Canada, supermarkets across Asia, and various other businesses. He employed over 150,000 people. Whether Li Ka-shing considered himself a businessman or not, his actions went beyond a simple social role. In modern terms, he was skilled at pursuing . Together with other Chinese capitalists, he replaced the British as the most important economic force in Hong Kong. He constantly challenged himself and never gave up learning, allowing Li Ka-shing to reach the highest level in many fields. By the 1980s and 1990s, Li Ka-shing's development had moved beyond that of a businessman into the ranks of the contemporary world's elite. He not only built strong relationships with famous entrepreneurs and bankers but also made friends with some international politicians. At one point, the value of his family's assets accounted for a quarter of Hong Kong's total. His personal wealth was equivalent to the combined assets of hundreds of millions of people in China's central and western regions. After the political myths of the mainland and Taiwan faded away, Li Ka-shing offered another myth—the myth of the golden age. Li Ka-shing was born in the Year of the Dragon, and some legends described his rise to wealth as deeply mythical. It is said that when he was born, his family dreamed of an old man reciting a folk song to his mother: "Golden rooster, silver hen, let my dragon's son pick; golden mountains, silver mountains, let my dragon's son move." It was the Year of the Dragon, so the family predicted that Li Ka-shing would grow up to be a golden dragon, destined to rise to prosperity. Of course, these are just legends. Li Ka-shing started from scratch, and his success was achieved through step-by-step hard work. Li Ka-shing's legendary entrepreneurial journey has inspired millions of people, and everyone wants to know his secrets in making big money in business. Everyone dreams of wealth. Some might say, "Money is the root of all evil," and pursuing wealth is indecent, at least it shouldn't be spoken of. In reality, this is a mindset. Money itself has no life; it depends on who holds it. While Li Ka-shing accumulated wealth, he also greatly contributed to society. To a large extent, money can realize our personal ambitions. In today's society, how people measure success can vary. Successful scholars, educators, medical professionals, social workers, and others can all be considered successful figures. They are not related to business and do not achieve fame and status through it. Many successful people are not necessarily chasing wealth but rather pursuing achievements. However, because of their achievements, wealth naturally follows. Ordinary people often measure their success by how much wealth they accumulate. The more wealth they have, the more successful they are considered. In reality, their achievements are not solely measured by wealth. It should be said that because of their great achievements, they have earned infinite wealth, not the other way around. But no matter what, wealth and achievement are deeply intertwined and inseparable. The more accomplished a person is, the more wealth they usually possess in society, as society often rewards successful people with wealth. In a sense, the process of pursuing wealth is also the process of pursuing achievement. This wealth actually marks personal achievement, gained through individual ability, hard work, determination, perseverance, and the ability to overcome setbacks and adversity. Remember the story of "turning stone into gold"? The young man, upon seeing the's finger turn stones into gold, no longer wanted the few pieces of gold but the finger itself. The original meaning of the story was to teach people not to be greedy. Here, I want to say that this was a clever young man, because gold will eventually run out, but the "art of turning stone into gold" can make gold endless. As a "billionaire," what is Li Ka-shing's "art of turning stone into gold"? This book, "The Secrets of Li Ka-shing, the Wealth Champion in Making Big Money," will explain it all to you. Making money is easy, but making more money requires great knowledge.
